It's more of an interest than a hobby, but I love linguistics. Several years ago I read What Language Is by John McWhorter and realized that the questions I'd been asking about language were questions asked and (sometimes) answered by linguistics. I'm actually majoring in linguistics as well as Communication Sciences and Disorders. I don't think linguistics is a practical field for me at this time but I'm very lucky that I'm able to study it anyway, and go into a similar field (Speech Therapy in schools). I'm still holding out for the day that I can just get a PHD and become a professor..
